Description
The Bachelor of Chemical Process Engineering with Honours (SMJCH) has been designed with a balanced curriculum to give students the knowledge and competency to work professionally as engineers. The curriculum covers basic engineering emphasis and specialisation in chemical engineering. The humanities elements are also embedded in producing well-rounded, morally sound, ethical engineers who communicate effectively. The Chemical Process Engineering program was designed for students who wish to acquire a solid foundation in chemical engineering with deep knowledge of the principles and practices of chemical engineering. This academic program is accredited by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA/FA9197) and the Board of Engineers Malaysia (2017-2028). It complies with engineering content defined by the Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC) and the Washington Accord.
The SMJCH courses are organised into 8 semesters. Semester 1 covers basic knowledge such as communication in English, Programming, Engineering Mathematics, and Introduction to Chemical Process Engineering. Students will be introduced to basic chemical engineering through Thermodynamics during the second semester. In addition, students will be introduced to general university courses such as Graduate Success Attributes. The following year (Semesters 3 and 4) will cover several chemistry and basic chemical engineering courses to develop strong fundamentals, such as Mass and Energy Balance, Fluid mechanics, Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics, and Transport Phenomena. The curriculum is designed to culminate the knowledge from the junior to senior years through thematic integrated projects, ultimately contributing to the mastery of the technical knowledge and soft skills. The projects will be concluded with the capstone project, which the students are expected to design a chemical plant that is technical and financially feasible to operate with avoiding environmental issues. The students will also be taking the undergraduate research project and undergo industrial training for a minimum of 12 weeks.
To promote career opportunities in Japan, SMJCH students must take three (3) subjects in the Japanese language. The faculty provides additional preparation classes for the students taking the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT), an essential qualification for getting hired by companies in Japan. The faculty also provides various opportunities for the students to be exposed to Japanese cultural activities through the Japanese Language and Cultural Center (JLCC).
